Given the parts that need to be assembled, can you come up with the process to put the part together efficiently within a cycle time?3. re you able to take this process and then turn it into a quote/estimate for the customer?4. Have you ever made a power point showing how the parts will be assembled along the line, the man/machine charts, layouts, etc.5. Why are you looking to move from your current compan y? (If they are currently somewhere).
